A big Thank You to everyone who came and made this event a great success. The weather did not cooperate, but that did not stop a crowd of over 300 from making the trip down the canyon! The presentations were informative, the instruction great, the food excellent, and the music and beer and wine created a perfect atmosphere! It's hard to say what the best part of the day was. Everything from the Kid's Camp to the Fashion Show was well attended and entertaining. Special thanks to Brian O'Keefe and Charles St Pierre for their efforts in the seminars and demonstrations. They are true professionals and those who attended their programs were rewarded with some incredible skills and insight. The Patagonia, Winston, Sage, Redington, Rio, and Clackacraft reps provided their expertise. And most importantly, our proud staff at Red's Fly Shop and Canyon River Ranch lodge took care of all of our guests and kept the program running without a hitch. They were everywhere they needed to be! Our guests are what make this job so enjoyable, and we appreciate your support.

It was a fun time. I was shocked at how many showed up. That light dusting of snow (and I mean LIGHT) in the early morning made me think it'd turn everyone away. But was gone by 9am and crowds came flocking in. Truly was a great time. I hope all liked the food. I'm used to it being my camps on my schedule, so had to do some adjustments, but seemed to work out just fine.

As always, Jerry, your food was fantastic - and not just the taste; but the organization, timing, and cleanliness. Next time we'll plan for a few more mouths to feed! You and your son are first class and added a lot to the quality of this program.

I had an awesome time. Thank you Red's for a day of fun. I really needed the time away from work, good people, awesome beer and great food. Sorry Jerry, I spent to much time casting and talking did not get to try the food. Next time I will be first in line.

Met a few people from the site, it was fun. Did not want to fly back to Chicago. Found out I am a lil rusty with my casting, but hell, I am a fisherman not a caster!

Most of all it was great to get back and see my brother and nephew. Hope to get back soon for another fishing trip. Keep up all the great posts!
